Luigi 7,871 April 6, 2017 Share April 6, 2017 So earlier this afternoon I read that comedian Don Rickles has passed away at age 90. Ive only known who he is because he voiced Mr Potato Head in Toy Story. Anypony else recognize him? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStreak98 828 April 6, 2017 Share April 6, 2017 (edited) He was really the first of what we would now call "insult comics", guys who would knock you down in such a manner that you couldn't help but burst out laughing. He was absolutely brilliant at what he did, and he will be sorely missed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1siwMVrS0qE Edited April 6, 2017 by BlueStreak98 2 "I still believe that peace and plenty and happiness can be worked out some way.

Jeric 46,884 April 6, 2017 Share April 6, 2017 The master of insult comedy done right. I know him from a lot of his roles, and his role in Casino was a favorite of mine. Rest in peace Mr. Rickles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the VGNerd 894 April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 Seems 2017 is picking up the pieces from 2016. And just like in Toy Story 3, I hope Pixar will find a replacement to fill in Don Rickles' spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreambiscuit 11,479 April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 Don Rickles has always been one of my all-time favorite comedians. Most people know him for Toy Story and I'm glad he had that as part of his great career. I loved him best as one of the most hilarious men I have ever seen. He never failed to have me in stitches with his humor, which could sometimes be seen as irreverent but never meant with malice. He was a good man, a true original and will always be among the greats. You will be missed, Don. God bless you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
